In reply to the discussion: Today I found out that I've had a slight reaction to the Moderna vaccine. [View all]karin_sj
(808 posts)57. My mom had the same thing
We got our first shots on Jan 22. I had a worse reaction that occurred the day after (swelling, arm pain, muscle pain, fatigue, low-grade fever), but it wasn't that bad and it went away the following day. My mom, who is 91, had some arm pain and fatigue, but that was it. After about a week, she had the itchy arm/rash (not as bad as yours though). It's lasted a long time, but I put cortisone cream on it the other day and the itching went away.

You're welcome, my dear KewlKat! I looked it up since I hadn't heard anything about it. n/t

Aw, thank you, my dear Niagara! I'm not at all itchy, and haven't had any since I got the vaccine.

I suspect your side effects are part of the normal ones, but I'm not sure.

Wow, I've never heard of a flu shot doing that. Always a first time, though.

Some on TicToc had a reaction like this but it covered more of their arm

It's a bit unnerving until you find out just what it is! Hope she's OK. ♥

Getting mine (Moderna) on Wednesday. Now I won't panic if I see something similar. Hope you
